GREAT Bag, product description is misleading

Patrick - United States

I purchased this bag a few weeks ago, and though I am pleased, I wanted to tell the tale. This is one of the most gorgeous leather bags I have ever seen. The smell of the leather is amazing. The construction is old-world craftsmanship. However, there is a flaw in the product description that misled and confused me:

"Zipped pockets on the inside, and outside (backside) of the bag secures all essentials, while handle straps or a the option of a shoulder strap make the Fitzgerald Bag easy to carry"

And...

"Strap: (at shortest length – 47")"

The pictures do not show an optional strap, nor even rings to hook a strap. I was confused, so I emailed the web contact form. No response.

I received the bag, and my initial impressions were joy (the above-mentioned aroma, color, and construction). My fears were realized with the lack of a strap and any way to fasten one. A business card to the Seattle store was included, so I called. An extremely nice and helpful person explained to me the discrepancy and we discussed my options.

The Fitzgerald bag with strap had recently been released on the Fluevog website, but it is a different color. I wasn't immediately interested in an exchange. So at the risk of voiding any warranty and returnability, I took this bag to a shoe cobbler/leatherworker. They quoted me a price to affix two D-rings on the ends for a strap to hook. And I couldn't be happier with the workmanship. Today is my first day at the office with the bag and it's outstanding. Although I was a little upset to find that the bag needed a slight alteration, I'm happy I stuck with it. It is an amazingly gorgeous piece.

Despite the confusion, I was helped greatly by talking to the Seattle store and finding a solution. There is a happy ending.
